FOB GOXGB&sa. 8 SYS NTH DISTRICT. Gen. P. M. B. YOTJNG, Of Bartow Country. TTlie ChrUtmu FcMItIUm. We have to return our thanks lor many invi tations extended to us to partake of Christmas dinnera with friends at their private residences, and at the hotels of our city. Our acknowledg ments are also due to friends for complimentary pel sonal attentions on that eventful day. Espe- catight in fiogrante delicto, stealing wine, and I comes them with open arms. Offices and emo!- having a soldiers reunion on their own hook at j aments, trade and business, await theip. Even Police Headquarters. We could comprehend how they disregarded Sherman’s raps and shoots; and how they refused to listen to Log&n’i poem or bis oration. Indeed, we think this was very natural, for nothing could induce us to listen to Logan, if even by shouting and scream ing we could possibly avoid it Nay, we could understand how exuberant hilarity and mirth might prevail against the simultaneous uprising of “a dozen general and staff officers” pleading for order. But we cannot account for the six arrests lor stealing wine. We cannot believe it. It must mean that the officers were carrying a great deal of wine away “under their belts” and not in their pockets. Any other explanation is an infamous, traitorous slander. Worth-West and North-East Georgia— Their Growth CoutrasteO. It is very doubtful whether auy two sections of country, especially so near together, so con cUllydo we iwl unir obligations to' Mksshs. I clusively illustrate the beneficial effects of rail Rose & Co., on Broad street, and to Mb. Geobob | way transports and communication as do the tjnABP, Jb., for their Christmas presents. “May fheir shadows never grow less 1” We could not dine everywhere, and therefore dined at home on Christmas day. We should doubtless have fared better, If we had accepted any one of the invitations extended to ns, but we determined to make no invidious distinction between this or that hotel, or between this or that lriend, and therefore, patriarch like, pre sided over our own board. Doubtless we missed a great deal, but wo retired to bed at night “at peace with all the world and the reet of man kind,” and desire so to remain if “the world” and “the rest of mankind” will only deal justly with us and permit it. Amnesty For All. The Christmas Proclamation of PbesiDBKT Johnson gives amnesty to alL It pardons all rebels from their illustrious leader, Jew. Davis, down to the humblest in the ranks that fought I ^ expense of the oity of Savannah, a company for the “ lost cause. ’ The amnesty Is universal | f orme( j ( n 1888, and the road opened for busi- two sections of Georgia under consideration. Soon after the settlement of the colony, by Gen. Ogletborpe, in 1783, pioneers penetrated inland so rapidly that we find the county of Wilkes laid of! as early as 1777, and Elbert and other counties a few years subsequently; while Cherokee, originally comprising, if we mistake not, the territory north of the Chattahoochee, was not organized under State authority until about 1832, making a difference of fully halt a century in the settlement and political organiza tion of the two sections. The railway system of Georgia commenced as far back as 1833, when the charter for the Georgia railway was granted. A portion of this road was put in operation in November, 1887, and finished to the terminus of the Western & Atlantic railway, at Atlanta, in September, 1845. A preliminary survey af the Central rail way was conducted in the spring and summer of 1834, at and a stop is thus put to all trials for treason. Jeff. Davis and Breckinridge, and all who are in exile fur political offenses against the United States, may now return to their homes in the South, and help to build up the waste places and to repair the damages done by the war. All honor to the Puesioent for his proclamation ! An African Carpet-Bagger. It appears that the Honorable Menard, titular M. C. from Louisiana, is an Illinois, and not a Pel ican Slate African—a carpet-bagger of African, and not Yankee ’scent, who emigrated to New Orleans “since freedom broke out.” He belongs, in t&ct, to that branch of the carpet-bag family of which Alpeoria Bradley was the head and front, specially commissioned to oome (South, and, in concert with the Bureau, to worry, be devil, and disturb the Southern people, at all times and in every conceivable way, in the inter ests of Radicalism. Educated for public life, in all probability, under the teachings of the accomplished Logan, Menard is in every way worthy of his master, and is doubtless aa respectable a legislator as many of his party whose skiu is not quite so dusky, and whose hair is not altogether so kinky. But he is not the true man and a brother African. He never was a down-trodden slave, subject to the brutal will of a barbarous traffleer in bureau flesh. He was born free. He first saw the light in Illinois. His first corn-dodger was grown on the prairies. The first piece of pork he ever sucked, as a “ little nigger,” was “West ern mess.” Hu cannot, therefore, be said to be a true representative ot the emancipated negroes, ness to Macon in October, 1843. The Macon A Western railway was chartered in 1833, and the charter amended in 1836; but owing to financial embarrassments, resulting in a change ot own ers and managers, the construction was delayed so that it was not completed to Atlanta, anc opened to the public until October, 1846. In the light of the foregoing historical facts, we respectfully invite the attention ot oar thoughtful readers of all classes—laborers, me chanics, merchants, and capitalists—to the fol lowing instructive, even if startling statistics. They convincingly show the value of railways in increasing population, productions, and the value ot property, in the country penetrated by them; and, hence, ,’o the general commerce of the country. In 1840 the population of the counties on and contiguous to the Air-Line Railway, was 75,063, and in 1850, 108,800, an increase of 33,737 or 45 percent. But in 1860 the same counties had a population of only 105,247 or an actual decrease in ten years of 2,553 or over two per cent. Now observe the difference! The country forming the counties on, and tributary to, the Western & Atlantic Railway, which as we have seen was settled fifty years later, had a population in 1840, of 45,890, or nearly 80,000 less than those on the Air-Line. In 1850, the population of the Northwestern coun ties reached 08,208, an inorease ot 115 per cent in ten years, (more than doubling,) and within 13,000 of the older counties on the Air-Line. In 1800 the population of the Northwestern counties footed up 132,549, an increase of 34,000 or about 35 per cent., and placing the population and it is an outrageous wrong to the free and enlightened black loyalty of Louisiana to suffer I 27,000 ahead of the counties on the Air-Line. an Illinois nigger to take all the honors, as well as the tricks, which properly belong to the swamp angels of the Mississippi, Ouichita, and Red rivers. In the name of the oolored troops who fought nobly, and of the colored electors who voted often, we protest against black carpet-baggery. If we must have negro M. G.’s let them be the pure article. Let them have a certificate from the Bureau and not from Logan; let them have graduated on a sugar plantation and notin Sing Slug. It is not fair to the men and brethren of Lou isiana to have a free nigger from Illinois thus thrust upon them, while there is so much native talent unrewarded. As the patron saints of Louisiana in general and of New Orleans in particular, Butler and Banks should at once interpose their power to prevent this fraud upon a people to whom they owe so much. We have read several accounts of the receut “Soldiers Reunion Banquet” at Chicago, which though they appear in the columns of papers ot established trooly loilty, must have been written by some most unredeemed and unrepentant rebel. They say that no privates were present. They were all officers, and consequently all gen tlemen, and yet if the reports are to be believed, there may have been a great many officers, but a very few gentlemen. We give the following extract from the Cincinnati Commercial : “There was a stormy scene at the banquet to night. After the eatables were disposed of, a terrible raid was made on bottles, and negroes who dispensed liquid refreshments were almost frighteued out ot their wits, as they were be sieged on every hand by eager and excited wear ers ot shoulder straps, champagne corks flying as thickly as bullets in a battle, and necks of bottles were snapped off in every direction by those who were too thirsty to wait for cork screws and waiters. In vain General Sherman essayed to bring his subordinates to order. His march to the sea was an easy task when compared to an attempt to restore quiet among that army ot Generals, lie rapped, shouted, aud finally made himself heard by a lew, and announced that the regular order ot proceedings would conn Thus, we perceive that a region without an appreciable population thirty years ago, has, within that period, by the influence ot railways, not only overtaken counties settled fifty years previously, but become one-fourth more pop ulous. But the difference in the value of improved Droperty is yet more marked and remarkable. In 1850 the value of property returned in the counties on and tributary to the Air Line Railway amounted to $8,338,249, and in 1860 to $36,173,818—an increase of $29,835,- 569, or 334 per cent. In 1850 the value of improved property in the counties on and tributary to tlie^Western A Atlantic Railway was $9,231,407, and in 1860 it amounted to $59,258,747; au increase of $50, 027,340, or over 540 per cent. The increase in Northwestern counties is $22,191,771, or nearly 80 per cent, more than in the Northeastern counties ; a sum nearly, if not quite, equating the aggregate original coet of all the railways in the State—the average yearly increase being sufficient to construct the Georgia Air Liuc—or in ten years, sufficient to build ten such roads. With such results as these, sliowu by the most reliable statistical compilations of this country— the United States census returns of 1850 and 1860—aud so clearly and unmistakably tracable to railway facilities. We cannot preceive how our own citizens, or those to be more immedi ately benefltted by railway enterprises, can be so reluctant to embark in them. The country traversed receives its benefit by having a market at its door for its surplus products, whereby increase of products, and influx of population are stimulated, and a corresponding advance in lands and other property realized. The cities at the terminal points are benefilted to the extent of the increase of population and productions, whereby business and commercial prosperity are promoted. We do not know that this article will receive that attention which it seems to us the facts collated in it justify ua in expecting. Yet it seems to us to be suggestive of thought to the reflective reader, and, hence, we crave for it a the native Union population are withdrawing their snpport from Radical BrownlowUm. To prolong his dynastic political poirer, how ever, the palsied Governor Brownlow is just now urging the secession of Ea»t Tennessee irom the other portions of the State. He was never popular in the more rebellious sections of Middle and Western Tennessee. He is now engaged in a movement to erect East Tennes see into a separate State, a la Western Virginia, which shall belong to him and bis posterity for ever. The Radical Congress which has just re constructed (or nn-reconstructed, which ?) Geor gia will probably favor him, and ere long we sball see another star added to the already thiekly “ spangled ” banner. The Lord be praised! I meet here some returned Tennesseeans who were whilom exiles in the land of the mocking bird. I have just enjoyed a hearty shake of the hand from that prince of good fellows Thomas O’Connor, who sojourned for a season in your goodly city. Tom is in business, and is doing well here. I heard a good one on another exile just here on a visit from a distant State. Meeting a warm hearted and witty lady friend on the street, the latter Inquired after the welfare of the said exile’s family. “ How many children haveyqu in fami ly ?” asked the lady. “ Nine," was life exile’s re ponse. “ I had exhausted the catalogue ot English names,” continued he, “ and had to name the last Nona—Latin, meaning the ninth” Dear me 1” exclaimed the lady, “T think you should name her Omega f” The .said exile wilted. The skaters are busy to-day at a little pond frozen solidly near the railway station. Most graceful among all the skaters, I observe a young brother of the Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, Captain Moses W.

The poem by Colonel Fierce was not finished, and the remainder of the^programme, down to J careful consideration ot the very important facts presented. the response of General Logan, was, after vain attempts, abandoned by reason of the incessant riotous conduct. Shouts and screams were con tinuous ; alleys were choked by a surging crowd; tables and floors were strewn with glass, cham pagne bottles were stuck into boiled hams, and auarchv reigned supreme. Governor Oglesby begged the assemblage to be quiet. James H. Bowen called ou the Chairman to urge the police to the faithtul performance of their duties. A dozen general and staff ottieers rose simultaneously to plead for order. Six military personages were arrested for en deavoring to carry bottles oi wine from the hall, aud conveyed to police headquarters. General Logan asserted that the riotous dem onstrations at the south end ot the hall were studied marks of disrespect to the President elect of the United States. General Thomas sprang up and rapped vehemently with his gavel, asserting in the firmest of tones, that he would not speak until General Logan waft heard. Out ot chaos finally came a sunbeam of order, and General Logan spoke, and then gave place to General Thomas, who was received with the wildest cheers, and permitted to complete his address without Serious interruption.” If this festive gathering had been composed of Kukluxes, or even of ordinary “rebel cutthroats” and “pirates,” we could understand the forego ing and our loyalty would be rather encouraged by the recital; but there must be some mistake in a report which tells of six officers being FOH Til ATLANTA UTILUSIHCIB. Vrem Knoxville, Tennessee. Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 25,1868. Would you like a line from this royal' seat of gubernatorial power in Tennessee? I paused here on yesterday, in my journey from the “ Sunny South ” to the Hyperborean. The air here feels as it the mercury were frozen in the thermometer. I have determined to forego my visit to the North Pole this season, and set up a search for the remains of Sir John 'Franklin hereabout. This old little city is now making rapid pro gress. It is spreading out over the adjacent hills like an ill-treated erysipelas. Those ener getic and to-be-worshipped Pilgrim-rock de scendants, to whom the earth and the fulness thereof right tally belongs, are here. I say em phatically, they are here. I recognize them on the streets, not only by their hatchet-faces, but by their shibboleth ot keoue (cows), which ena bled my good friend, General Bale, once, during the war, to detect a spy, and by numberless nasal adornments to the pronunciation of the Queen’s English.

He, thereiore, endeavored to in vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun terfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished chemists for enaiysis, aud prouounced by them the pu rest spirits ever manuiaclured. Its purity and properties hav. ng been thus ascertained, samples of the artic e were toriv irded to ten thonsand physicians, including ah the leadi ag practitioners in the United States, for purposes ol experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pre paration and report of the result, accompanied each spe- cinien. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men ir. the Union promptly responded. Their opinious of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara tion, they said, had long been wanted by the proiessiou, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less adniierated, aud therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to gether with an unalloyed character ot the alcoholic ele ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diu retic, tonic, and restorative. These s tiislaetory credentials lrom professional men of the highest rank were published in a condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained or the article, the label was copyrighted, a foe simile o the proprietor’s autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York during that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted w’tta the daring character of tbs pirates who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete rious trash under their name, that the protections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have pre cluded the Introductions and sale ol counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostors. Tho trade mark of the proprietor line been stolen; the indorsement which his 8cbiedam Aromutic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his lubels and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para phrased, his circulars copied,.and worso than all, dishon orable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents of his boitios, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleter.oils of all liquors, and thus made bis name and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession, and the sick, lot whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac tices. The genuine article, manufactured at the estab lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled lrom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juui- per, oi uuequaled parity. B> a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is freed lrom every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints have been received from the leading physi cians and families in tbe Southern Stales of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets, and travelers who are in the habit of using it as un antidode to the baneful influence of un wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un wary. The agents of the undersigned have been request ed to institute inquiries on the subject, aud to forward to him the names of such parties ae they may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro duced, fiom under the hands of tbe most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity aud medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liqii.jrin the world that can be uniformly de pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparaison, and experiment in all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation which b ars his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He therefore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls npon the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to rem edy so great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chemists oi this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the undersigned ace all they are represented to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to say that I legard your Schnapps as be ing in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest possi ble article of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable, and as such may be safely prescribed by physicians. DAVID L. MOTT, M. D„ Pharmaceutical Chemist, New York. 26 Puts Street, New York, | Nov. 21, 1867. j Odolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present: Dear Sir—I buve made a chemical examination of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of determining if any foreign or injurious substances had been added to the simple distilled spirits. The examination has resulted in the conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substances which are employed in the adul teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself, or to recommend to others, ior medicinal purposes, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable varieiy of gin. Veey respectfully yonrs, (Signed) OHAS. A. SEELY, Chemist. New York, 57 Cbdab Street, > November 26, 1867. J Udolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present: Dear Sir—I have submitted to chemical analysis two bottles of Schiedam Schnapps, which I took from a fresh package in your bonded warehouse, and find as before, that the spirituous l.quor is free from injurious ingredi ents or falsification ; that it has the marks of being aged and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture of alcohol and aromatics. Respectfully, FRED. F. MAYER, Chemist. New York, Tuesday, May 1. Udolpho Wol'e, Esq.: Dear Sib—The want of pure wines and liquors for ma dicinal purposes has been long felt by the profession, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis eases of the brain and nerves so rife in this country, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dlf ference in the purity of the spirits gold. We have tested the several articles imported and sold by yon, including yonr Gin, which you sell under the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which wo con sider justly entitled to the high reputation it has acqni-ed in this country; and from yonr long experience as a for eign importer, yonr Bottled Wines and Liquors should meet with the same demand. We would recommend you to appoint seme of the ra spectable apothecaries in different parts of the city a agents for the sale of yonr Brandies and Wines, wher the profe- sion can obtain the earns when needod for medicinal purposes Wishing you success in your new enterprise, We remain yonr obedient servants.
